    Whilst this submission was posted a little earlier than that one, this article is re-reporting of the Ars Technica article. We normally reward the user who submits the first article about a topic, however the guidelines ask us to submit the original source for a topic, so in this case we're rewarding the user to submitted the original source.

      You are posting these dupe comments as often as not to shut down perfectly valid discussion threads, I don't see the point. You rarely actually contribute to the discussion, it is mostly just these silly links.

        Yeah, it’s not a “dupe” if the discussion I might want join happened a week ago.

          It's a "dupe" if the topic posted today is the same as the topic that was posted a week ago.

          In this case, there is "significant new information" (or new/original analysis), so we can host a new discussion about it, as there are new things to comment on.

            Thanks for some support but it's not a new analysis. The submitted Ars story today is from last week when the news broke. There was plenty of comments and additional links in the other discussion about this other side 'EU wifi' angle in that large discussion.

      It's related, but a feature announcement and a look into why that feature exists are different topics.

      That's not a dupe, that's related. That provides no EU/DMA context.

        There is a bunch of EU/DMA discussion and links shared in that discussion. The submitted story today isn't new, it's an article from last week when all of this news dropped. The discussion was and is over there.
